Is there more to Bavaria than beer?
Well, no. But
nevertheless, Vroni Holzmannand her Bavarian friends bring you, direct from Bavaria, the bestof ancient Bavarian Traditions,
from Pigsong to authentic cultural activitieslike getting up and sitting down again. There
will, of course, be Bavariansongs and Yodelkunst (yodelling). There will be an
introduction to the cultureof beer drinking. Sometimes there will be Freibier. But there
will be more thanbeer. For the unattached, there will be education in the traditional
wooingmethods of Fensterln (windowing). In this, boy climbs up to window, maidenrejects
boy and boy leaves scene in flood of proper, ancient swear words asonly a Bavarian could
utter. He is, of course, undefeated, and moves on to thenext fancy maiden’s window.
There will be no
Lederhosen. We preferdirndl dresses and ample cleavages to leather shorts and
thigh-slapping. Somestereotypes are better left at home when discussing Bavaria’s richcultural heritage.
 Note:
The show’s Bavarian
Boy is rumoured to befond of swearing, so performances will be for over 18s only
Free beer will be served
at the first andlast shows only. So this means free beer on 11th August and 25thAugust.
Put these dates in you diary now. This may be a once (well, twice) in alife time
occurrence in Scotland. Unlike in Bavaria where it is a beautiful custom frequently
experienced by gratefulbeer lovers.
